My Creative Space

I often get asked about my scrapbook studio and several people have asked me to post pictures. I recently moved from a smaller room to a much larger space in my basement so I wanted to share photos of both. I loved the built-ins in my old room, but once I started Artsy Albums, I quickly out-grew that space. Now, I have my little piece of paradise in a larger room down the hall.

This was my room before Artsy Albums.

My built-ins were wonderful, housing everything from inks and paint, to tools, stamps

and computer equipment.

This was a favorite cabinet! All of the plastic bins on top held scrap paper by color, the bins on the bottom help my wooden stamp collection by category and theme.

This is my new space. Much roomier with space for my three project tables to be centered in the middle of the room with easy access to everything.

Instead of one IKEA expedit unit, now I have 2 and they hold everything from Artsy Albums kits on the top shelves, to supplies and paper below.

This one holds years of scrapbooks (even from high school) and my collection of acrylic stamps, which are in binders by category and theme along the top shelves. To the left of this Ikea unit sits my 12" wide format printer -- a tool I could not live without!

These are my three (soon to be four) project tables -- the taller desk on the far end is from Home Depot (Martha Stewart Project Table) and the other two are from Ikea. Need one more and then I might have enough space to control all of the creative chaos that occurs before a new kit hits my website.

(And so more of my scrappy friends can come over to play)!

This is a bookshelf that I keep completed kit albums on, in addition to baskets

of "soon-to-be-a-kit"product! You can see that some of this has over-flowed

So that's where I spend a good 80% of almost everyday. I love it and am blessed with a husband and two sons who agreed to move the big screen TV into a smaller room. What's the saying?... "happy wife, happy life"? or...."if Momma's not happy, ain't nobody's happy?"

“Received my wedding albums today and they're absolutely incredible! I have to agree with a previous post that Traci does AMAZING custom work! All I did was send a CD of my pictures, describe the style I like (vintage/aged/inked), and pick out my album. Even though Traci emailed images of the papers she planned to use, I did not see the album until it came to my house. I was a bit anxious, but I shouldn't have been. I've purchased albums from Traci before, but this was my first custom order. I'm absolutely sold on the wonderful work she does and her remarkable talent!!” - E. Petersen

“A wonderful seller who puts so much hard work and passion into her kits. I am most impressed!” - Ng Jin Miin
